' dismantle the building, or assembled to pro- .vide a strong and serviceable building that is adapted for use asta garage.

In carrying out the objects of the invention generally stated above it will be understood, of course, that the essential features thereofare necessarily susceptible lof changes in details and structural arrangements, one preferred and practical embodiment of which is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein i f Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved fireproof portable buildin Fig. 2

1s a transverse vertical sectionalview thereof taken on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig.v 3' is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the linea-4, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 5--5, Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view showingone of the roof plates and asupporting beam therefor. Fig. 7 is a similar view of one end of the structure. Fig. 8 is a detail view of the supports shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view-showing the connection between the roof and the sides l'of the building. l

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, it'will be seen that the improved building is composedof the vertically arranged side standards 1 which are preferably T beams, the longitudinal sid'e flanges of which have'the longitudinal edges of the side lates 2 bolted thereto. The upper ends ofpsaid plates 2 are bolted to the`\ pendent flange of the horizontally arranged i longitudinally. extending angle beams 3. The other flange of said beam 3v is on an incline and has the lower .tr n'sverse edges ofI the' roof plates 4 bolted or otherwise fastened thereto.v The roof plates'fl are supported on an incline, their upper transverse the buildin vided withl an inclined formed of an angle beam, roof platesdeledges being bolted .to the inclined 'side flanges -of the ridge beam 5', said ridge beam 5 separating the two sets of roof plates.V` The longitudinal edges of the roof-plates 4- are bolted to the ianges' 'of the T-beams 6, said beams 6 connecting the ridge' beam' and the angle beams 3 l Horizont-ally arranged transverse vT-beamsl 7 connect the upper ends of the corner standards, said beams 7 having the lower. edges of the end plates 8 bolted to the upper flange thereof. Said en d 'plates are triangular 'inshape and their side edges arebolted to the pendent central-flanges of the end.-of roof beams 6. Brace bars' 9 connect the end" 'beams' with the 'T-beams 7 lj Doors 10 are hinged tothe cornerstandards, said doors being formed ofmetal and are limited in their lclosing movement by Contactv with 'the pendent flange of beams 7.

Each lowercorner of the buildingis provided with an earth auger 11 for anchoring the 'building to the ground. t

It will be seen from the foregoing tha 't'he parts o f the improved building being bolted together the same maybe readily. separated when necessary or desirable, and being of metal, the buildingv is, of course, fireproof. It willalso be seen that the angle beams and T-beains in addition to performing the necessary supporting functions for the roof and side plates, also seals the cracks yor openings between adjacent plates so that is made-watertight.

`What I o aim as my invention is 1. A portable building comprising vertically arranged T-beams arranged to rovide side'standards, ,side platesdetachab y connected to said standards, longitudinal angle beams detachably connecting the upper ends of the side standards, said angle beams pro;A flange, a -ridge tachably fastened to said ridge and the vlongitudinal beams, T-beai'ns" detachably oonnected to saidroof'platesand overlapping.

the meeting edges thereof, horizontally ar 'ranged transverse T-beams detaohably connecting the upper ends ofthe corner standards, and end plates'detachably supported by said transverse beams. and the end roof beams.

2. A portable flreproof' building oomprisi A orting standards therefor which over ing side plates su'p laps plates, a flanged ridge, Aroof plates having he meetingfedges of said.,

one end attached to one flange of said ridge, l beams, and means for anehorlng the buildlongltndmal beams earned by sind stm'lglmg to the earth. 10 ards and suppotlng the other end of seul l U In testlmony whereof l hereunto affix my plates, smd beams overlappm'g the meetmg l s lgneture 1n presence of two witnesses.
